A few words you might not know…
• Assonance: repe::on of vowel sounds without the repe::on of consonants
• Example: “the molten, golden notes” and “silent night”
![Page 13: Literary(Terms( - Weebly · A(statementthatis(seemingly(contrary(to(common(sense(yetis,(in(fact,(true(((Ex.((Beauty(is(acurse.)(1. Hyperbole(2. Syntax(3. Paradox](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042413/5f2ccb45e92236123c32fe9f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Another one…
• Euphemism: when a more acceptable/appropriate term is used in place of a term that might be considered harsh or unpleasant
• Example: “Gatsby and Daisy got to know each other very well, if you know what I mean.”
OR “He passed away.”

One more…
• Synecdoche: a figure of speech in which a part is used for a whole
• “He asked for her hand in marriage.” (Isn’t he asking for the whole person, not just the hand?)
• “She had too many mouths to feed.” (“Mouths” used for people.)
